It seemed fitting that all of our excursions on the @australiscruises started on zodiacs named after some of the greatest adventurers that have explored and documented this region.  I got a kick out of watching these aptly named adventure vessels get loaded into the water and it was one of those simple yet memorable moments from our voyage. They embodied their names and meant only one thing…it was adventure time!

After a brief stop in Wulaia Bay to learn about the native Yaghan people we headed up the Beagle channel to our first of many glaciers. Only accessible from the sea and one of the longest glaciers in the southern hemisphere make the Pia Glacier extra special. Roughly 480 km² , this thing is massive. It’s hard to fathom that it is actually moving, it is the size of the capital city of Chile!!! My brain still can’t really compute it but when you hear it crack and creak you sure feel it in your bones.
Amazing experience.
